It is summertime!  The kids are out of school, and we are enjoying our days at home.  Shane is always up early, between 7 and 8am...and playing with his cars or watching transformers on youtube.  Kirsten usually crawls out of bed between 9-10am, and happily joins Shane in whatever he is doing.  Miss Heidi, well, she is a teenager now, and we seldom see her before noon, and then she really isn't in a good mood until 1pm!  LOL.  I remember those days a couple decades ago! 

Leigh is working hard at Coke.  They are changing the routes around and so he had new stores, and different areas he is delivering to.  It makes it pretty stressful for him.  So, he comes home from work even more exhausted than normal!

We got a metal framed pool for the kids.  We set it up on Monday, and the kids were in it while it was filling up!  Crazy!  The well water is COLD!  They have been in it every day since, rain or shine, warm or cold.  They don't care.  Today it is supposed to warm up nicely, so maybe I'll join them this afternoon.

I am 12 weeks preggo now.  This week I have had a little bit more energy than before.  I still tire easily, and get short of breath.  My body is increasing the blood supply and all that new hemoglobin wants oxygen!  It annoys me!  I still fight nausea, although it is improving.  I'm focusing on eating fresh fruits and veggies, and healthy protein.  It really seems to help stabilize my blood sugar and ward off the nausea.  I don't have diabetes, or blood sugar issues, but I have read that the more consistent you can keep your blood sugar the better it is for morning sickness.  I'm looking forward to going back to see the midwife in a couple weeks.  Can't wait to hear the heartbeat and find out how things are going.  I know it is "too early", but I have felt some strange sensations a few times, and I think it is feeling the baby move!  That sure is what it reminds me of!  I get all excited when it happens!
